Jack,
I ran wter with Red Line water wetter for the first time on the track in
touring this past weekend. The Boss wanted to run right on the
thermostat as hard as I pushed it for all 45 minutes. It also seems to
run at least a needle width lower on the street. It was what about 88
Saturday and about 87 on Sunday. I'm liking it better than antifreeze
for the Boss.
